Accuphase vs Luxman


Greetings! Is anyone here familiar with Luxman M10x and Luxman C10x? I currently have Accuphase components consisting of an Accuphase A-48S Class-A amplifier,  an Accuphase C2300 preamplifier and an Accuphase DC-37 Processor/DAC. My system is definitely an upgrade from my previous McIntosh MA12000 integrated which I still consider to be a really good component.  The Accuphase is clean, precise but not clinical, dynamic and musically engaging. Mids are lush and bass is impactful and focused. It's like a beautiful custom acoustic with incredible sustain, decay and detail that resonates emotionally (what can I say,  I love guitars). 

But what will the Luxman offer me? I should mention that I have Klipsch LaScala AL5 speakers and an Innuos Pulsar (not Pulse) streamer. I guess I'm just curious and love exploring different avenues.

Toronto416,  I'm also from Toronto. Nice talking to you!

There's a C3800 for sale locally but I heard the C2900 is better.  I can only imagine what the C3900 is like. What about the DC-1000?

Maybe ADD a Luxman Tube Integrated as an optional setup. One that would look good with the Accuphase nearby

btw, my back hurts just looking at that low equipment platform, hurray for remote controls

This Luxman Reissue 12 wpc has 4,8,16 ohm taps, (my speakers are 16 ohm), has 2 Phono Inputs (1 MM, 1 MC), no remote

This newer version, EL34 tubes 30 wpc has 4 or 8 ohm taps, and I think your speakers are 8 ohms, correct? OEM Remote.

I saw the Reverb ads you mentioned. I like the older Luxman SQ38 SIGNATURE. Definitely a fun component to play around with.  Do you think this unit is noisey?
